CHRIST THE ANTIDOTE REGARDING DEATH
Part 28.
A Resurrection Of Life, And Of Judgement!
Some of our many readers were querying a statement that we made in our last article Part 27 as regardsthe resurrection in !ohn "#28$2%. & wish now with the hel of the Sirit of (od to gi)e you the *hird
Realm understanding of what we were stating we ha)e touched on this +efore. & would li,e to say at the
outset of this discourse - as many of us are aware of - that in the translating of many words - )erses the
emhasis has +een on the ercetion of the translators at their way of seeing things at that time. /or
instance the word DA01A*&1 at the end of the 2%th)erse in the 3!4 is not only o)er$stressed for in the
light of the original conte5t it is out of conte5t. n my comuter & ha)e access to 62 translations - only
two of them render the word DA01A*&1 - that is the 3!4 - e+ster's the maority render
!9D(:0:1*hy; fields treasures storehouses shee
goats mountains seas fo5es - so it goes on all to show us ictures or illustrations. ?et us now loo, at
the (ree, literal word translation of these two )erses.

shall hear the voice of him, 2% and shall come forth, those the good things having done, to a

time as dying it is also +eing recreated - new life +eing a+sor+ed a !ouble e!"e! swor! if you lie. 1ow

through wonderfully. *here are some amaHing dee *hird Day gems in this unadulterated +oo,. & will not
go into the history of it for it would ta,e to much time +ut & will let it sea, for itself. &t was first written
in (ree, it was then written in Cotic an :gytian language influenced +y (ree,. *homas inaugurated a
Church in &ndia - is suosedly still in e5istence today. Please ,ee in mind that when we read the
translation of any other language the grammar the idiom - the way of hrasing is always different to our
:nglish way of thin,ing - sea,ing. Plus this was written almost two centuries ago. *he oint that &
wish to ma,e is that +ecause of our ast :nglish estern way of thin,ing which was influenced +y the
fallen Church of the dar, ages a lot of the original thin,ing of the day of !esus has +een lost +ut raise

here is this di)ision of the two; ithin us of courseF hen man,ind first went into duality he thought

duality is not ust an eating from the tree of - "oo! & evil +ut within us are two trees or two identities
-eepin" in min! that the ori"inal 56V containe! a foot note to the effect that the first three chapters of
,enesis were myths or as we woul! say to!ay metaphors & were not factual-the conflict lies in the fact
that the @tree of "oo! & evil or our mista,en $oer i%entityis at loggerheads with the @tree of life

=ere we see again the two one will die or +e a+sor+ed into the other. *he following )erse is from the
1ew *estament.

and the other shall be left? ?u,e 7#6.C?4.
''> say to you3 >n this the night will be two on bed one; one will be taen, and the other will be left''?u,e 7#6(3.
1otice that the original does not mention a man or woman or erson. *he 3!4- se)eral other
translations ha)e also +een tamered with +ut in most of the more recent translations they are now
,eeing to the original descrition.... * =A*; &dentities> our =igher - our ?ower self. *shall
+e in the one erson on one couchFF *he one shall +e ta,en comaring it with the a+o)e )erse. 9sually
this has +een interreted to fit into the rature theory - thought to mean that there were two eole in a
+ed the good one flies u into the air for a eriod of time while the other is left to face the music - ha)e
a terri+le time - those who ha)e +een floating away u in the clouds somewhere return when it is all
o)er to reoice. & want to say to all that this is a terri+le error if e)er there was a time when the sons o#
Go%will +e needed in this world it will +e in the soon dar, times. *his is where we will see in action
''/here sin abounds grace does abound much, much more'' *he true interretation of the a+o)e
assage - & I am not the only one that believes this either - is this. *his is actually referring to our two
entities +oth our @true $hrist i!entity & our mistaen or lower self in one erson. 1:identity will +e
ta,en a+sor+ed changed - in this soon time when those who ha)e +een 'waling in the light as )e is
in the light' the culmination of what (od has +een saying to many of us will ta,e effect - there will +e a
catchin" away - many will +e '%aught u"' into a higher e5erience - it will +e the time that the
mistaen i!entity will +e fully merged into the $hrist i!entity - in so doing in this merging the o$% mn

hard to understand is that if the mistaen i!entitydies how can it li)e; *he answer of course is that in
the dying to itself it is a+sor+ed into the Christ self - gains a =igher realm of change a =?G (D?G

hen we read Scriture - ha)e a greater confidence in our own understanding of Scriture than in
the Scriture itself we ,now that the man of our @mistaen i!entity is sitting on the throne.*his tye
of resumtion needs to +e re)ealed in us where we are own lords rather than !esus Christ. *his needs to
+e re)ealed +y *he Sirit. &t is no use me seeing it in you you need to see it for yourself. e also need to
ha)e re)ealed to us in that we are deri)ing our consciences from the eating of the tree of good - e)il
which is the source of death in all of man,ind. &t is also a tra of our carnal mind to ha)e a greater
confidence in our own understanding of (od than in (od =imself. ur faith in (od must must out weighour concet of =im. 0any sincere searchers who go no further than trying to access Christ solely within
themsel)es are lost in an elite form of searation - self$ism. ''>f we wal in the light as )e is in the
light we have fellowshi" with one another # the blood of Jesus %hrist cleanses us from all sin'' !n

%laiming to be a god!
:He 28#2.C:4.''Beiel, son of man, tell the ing of *yre that > am saying3 :ou are so arrogant that
you thin you're a god and that the city of *yre is your throne :ou may claim to be a god, though
you're nothing but a mere human''
Another thin line of danger is intellectualism this also can +e mista,en for sirituality +ecause we are
fast intellectually - more learned - ha)e all the answers at out finger tis does not necessarily denote
sirituality. & am reminded of the words of Paul not many mighty not many no+le +ut he has chosen the
wea, desised - foolish. *he 3ing of *yre really had tic,ets on himself +ut =is Creator quic,ly ulled
him down to siHe. ':ou may claim to be a god but you are very, very human' e need to +e reminded
that in scriture that there are two tye of gods - once again there is a seemingly )ery fine line +etween
the two. ne is wonderful - the other is far far from wonderful.
9e are to humble ourselves un!er the %i"hty han! of ,o! & if we !o He will e:alt us in !ue time. &n
these articles it is not so much in the winning of any oint or argument +ut are we heling each other to
draw closer to (od - =is urose. *here is seemingly a )ery good reason for doing away with the
efficacy of the did not ee" bac from declaring to you all the counsel of +od 28 *hen tae heed to
yourselves and to all the floc, in which the )oly ("irit "laced you as overseers, to she"herd the

yourselves will rise u" men s"eaing "erverted things, in order to draw away the disci"les after
themselves'' +r their own particular way of thinin". Acts 2E#27$6E. ?&*4.
As with any error those who are under a decetion are totally con)inced that they are right - ofcourse their )ery con)incing ways does not in any way alter the su+tleness or insidiousness @that which
is more !an"erous than seems evi!ent of that which they ha)e em+raced. &n essence what some are
inferring is that we might as well throw away the

''9ut if we wal in the light, as )e is in the light, we have fellowshi" with one another, and the
blood of Jesus %hrist )is (on cleanses us from all sin'' !n #7. Remem+er how (od ga)e 0oses
secific instructions of how to +uild the *a+ernacle - how to enter it. ith this new way of thin,ing it
is really saying that (od did not gi)e 0oses instructions as the +lood sacrifice came from other cultures.
&t comletely undermines the word - ta,es away any confidence in it. And so to ma,e it fit it now
denigrates - infiltrates into the 1ew *estament. So if we do this where does that lea)e the truth as
regarding our ?ord !esus - =is sacrifice. 1o my +elo)ed friends we must ta,e a stand against thisinfiltration of terri+le error. /urthermore we read ''who serve the e8am"le and shadow of heavenly
things, as &oses was warned of +od when he was about to mae the tabernacle $or, )e says ?(ee
that you mae all things according to the "attern shown to you in the mountain? =e+ 8#". e are
told that what 0oses was gi)en was a S=AD or tye of the hea)enly things. here; in us. 1ow my
question is. Do we +elie)e that 0oses was warned of (od; &f we say that the +lood sacrifices were not
ordained of (od we are saying that what we are reading right now is a lie - that 0oses was not warned
of (od - if that is a fact then most e)erything that we read in the 1ew *estament is not to +e trusted.
